Description of the problem	I am the owner of a 2004 audi a-4 equipped with pirelli p-6 p235/45 r-17 tires. These tires are original equipment and the vehicle was purchesed from bell audi of rahway, nj. At approximately 3000 miles the rear right tire developed a large sidewall bubble. This tire was immediately relpaced with the full size spare (same type, model and rim). Calls to the dealership, audi, usa and pirelli were met with limited information and assistance at best. In substance, i was told there was nothing they could / would do about this problem. Now a approximately 6000 miles (3000 on the replacement), the same problem has developed at the right rear tire. Calls once again are apparently falling upon deaf ears. Undoubtably we have a safty issue here (as indicated by several other complaints lodged by other owners of p-6 tires) which is being ingnore by the tire manufacturer as well as audi, usa and its dealers. In view of the lack of response, and more importantly the safety issue, i'll be forced to replace all of these obviously defective tires on my vehicle at my own expense. I'm requesting that the nhtsa make further inquiries into this matter. I will also be very willing to provide my defective tires to the nhtsa, or any other independent agency, for testing, etc. Furthermore, if the nhtsa, other governmental agencies, complaintants, owners, dealers, consumer groups, are interested in pursuing legal recourse please contact me as i am more than willing to assist in entering into a class action suit against pirelli, audi, etc. I am egerly awaiting your response. Thank you.*ak

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
